it is going to cost me the flight over, the flight back, food/(some)incountry transportation, and spending money. The housing is going to be covered by a friend/aquaintance whom i met kinda randomly through a mutual freind.
I intend to have a hell of a good time, improve my russian, and really get to know another country. I did a semester abroad that actually managed to leave me not much better aquainted with the country than when i came. I think it really shows my interest outside of just grades or resume padding.

on the topic of essays, i am hesitant to plan to write about it because if nothing unexpected happens (if this turns out to be the case i will be very sad), it would be another cliche story about the value of foreign language studies. any ideas on topics that aren’t as trite?
